John Bradbury – författare

In the workplace, good relationships are the key to making things happen.

So often poor relationships get in the way of progress and efficient delivery of results.

Adopting the collaborative strategies and practices that John has laid out here will enable individuals to problem solve their relationship challenges and thereby create a much better working environment.

The behaviours described here make common sense but are not yet common practice. 

However, taking personal responsibility for the way you lead can strongly influence the development of a collaborative culture.

If you are a leader who believes that creating the right culture will benefit the business then this book is for you. Engaging with the practices in this book and getting others to engage with them will result in a culture that delivers engaged, motivated employees who deliver exceptional results. Our behaviours and the way we relate to others a significant determinant of the culture we work in. Furthermore the culture is strongly linked to results. It makes sense to address the culture and this book shows you how to do that in a powerful, impactful way.

I Collaboarte asks you to examine how you lead and make a commitment to transform yourself.

During the 1970s and 80s mine closure and wind-down became increasingly common in a number of countries. As mining communities are often situated in remote areas, with most of the community dependent on the mine, these closures have far-reaching implications. Originally published in 1992, this book addresses these issues with regard to the community and the problems facing the policy maker. The book develops some understanding of the factors influencing those affected by closure and examines the relative success of attempts to resolve the problems generated by closure. The book brings together case studies from Scandinavia, Australia and Canada. Each case study deals with one or more communities facing the closure of mines on which they depend. The particular case studies have been chosen both with a view to exploring the comparative contexts and to developing general guidelines for communities and companies facing closure and wind-down in the future.
